"So, what do you guys have?" Mikey asked his brothers as he laid his card out on the table. "'Cuz this mutant turtle's got a full house!"
It had been almost a week since they arrived in their new world and the four brothers were playing poker and enjoying the strange silence of the Xavier Institute; they had awoken in their temporary room to find that the mansion was empty except for Lockheed the baby dragon. The turtles of course assumed that the mutants were on their way to one of Xavier's many public debates which were scheduled throughout the week.
Raphael and Donatello simply groaned in defeat, and then Leonardo spoke up. "Aren't any of you worried about the X-Men?" Leonardo asked, and worry covered his face.
"Relax Leo, they're big kids they can take care of themselves." Raph dismissed his brother's worry.
"Yeah man, I mean this is their home world it's not like they have to get used to it like us." Mikey pointed out.
"I know, but still they didn't leave a note or anything." Leo countered, "I just don't see the professor or even Scott doing that."
"Hm…" Donny thought for a moment. "Well, we could always check with the Scions."
"No we can't." They went world jumping with those Elric kids so they could safely guide them home." Mikey said as he enjoyed a sucker he had found earlier that day.
"Leo stop worryin' yourself, they're ok I can guarantee it." Raphael said as he leaned back in his chair.
Suddenly a bright light filled the room and the turtles were so surprised that they all fell back in their chairs. When they got back up they saw Stanley shaking in fear in a corner.
"Whoa, Stan my man, you ok?" Raphael ran to the young man and picked him up.
"Ss-s-some weird ninjas..." He muttered. "They took everyone by surprise; even Blind Master couldn't fight them off."
"Strange Ninjas?" Donatello looked worried now. "Stanley, listen carefully, what were they wearing?"
Stanley then went catatonic and completely closed up.
"Stanley?" Donny tried to wake the young man up.
"Oh man, you don't think?" Mikey began to realize what was happening.
"The Foot are here too?" Raph began to curse.
"Aw man, what next?" Mikey whined.
A sudden grunt drew the gaze of the turtles, and much to their shock they saw the Shredders right hand man, Tatsu standing in the door way. The large Asian man simply stared at the turtles with his arms crossed before he spoke; "Master Shredder sends a message."
"Let me guess; he kidnapped all our new friends?" Raphael snapped.
Tatsu simply nodded with a grunt.
"AH!" Raphael charged the ninja with all his anger, only to be knocked to the ground.
A sudden kick from Splinter however sent the large Tatsu flying. "You will not harm my sons."
The almost wordless lackey simply smiled as he produced several smoke bombs and slammed them into the ground; after the smoke cleared he was gone.
"Oh man!" Mikey coughed through the smoke, "This royally sucks."
"I knew something was wrong." Leonardo scolded himself.
"Oh, I hate, I hate, I HATE that guy…" Raph growled.
"I hate those smoke bombs; you know they'll probably give us all cancer." Donatello waved the smoke away from his face.
"My sons bring Stanley up stairs." Splinter calmly ordered his sons. "We must take care of him before you are to save our friends."
"Yes Master Splinter." Leonardo said as he and Raphael picked the young man up.
When they reached their temporary quarters Splinter had set up a small incense circle and was busy meditating.
"Set him by me my sons." Splinter said, and his sons did so. "As I must prepare him to truly come into his own, you must prepare yourselves for a true test of your abilities and skills."
"Master Splinter?" Leonardo asked in confusion.
"You will have to rescue our new friends, only you four." Splinter held up a note written in Japanese kanji. "The Shredder has demanded a true battle with you, and should I near the battle grounds he will have his new COBRA troops execute all his prisoners; all of our friends."
"What!" Mikey gasped, "We have to save'em."
"No, what we need are the Scions." Raphael pointed out.
"Raphael, you must not grow to rely on the power of the Scions, but the power with in yourself." Splinter calmly explained. "To rely on their power will weaken us."
"Wait, won't they come anyway?" Donatello asked, "I mean Perfection has that ruby he gave to Wanda that lets him know if she's in danger."
Splinter held out a dangling ruby from his right hand, "They have prepared themselves for that my son."
"Then we really don't have a choice." Donatello sighed.
"Where do we go Master Splinter?" Leonardo asked with his head bowed in concern.
The sudden disruption of a helicopter landing outside gave them their answer. With a quite look to each other and a quick goodbye to their master the turtles all solemnly made their way to the helicopter. There they saw the pilot and her co-pilot.
"Get on board if you want to see your friends again." A man with a metal face called from with in the helicopter.
The turtles did so and the COBRA made machine took off for parts unknown, though soon a second party would be joining the turtles.
Meanwhile in a buried section of his mind, Stanley Ipkiss was again running for his life from the many monsters around him. Large creatures with sharp meta claws, crazy people, strange lizards and angry store clerks all chased after the young man.
"Why me, why me, why me?" Stanley chanted his familiar mantra, right before a strange force stopped him.
"Do not be afraid Stanley." The serene voice of Splinter called out.
"Huh?" Stanley looked around but could not locate a body to go with the voice. "Splinter, where are you?"
"I am right beside you, but you are not yet awake." Splinter said.
"What, you mean this is a dream?" Stanley sounded hopeful.
"No." Splinter dashed Stanley's hopes, "You have locked yourself away to hide from your fears and now you see nothing but them."
"Well of course I do!" Stanley shouted, "I've never lived a day with out getting bullied, my parents hate what I like, people think I'm a freak and to top it all off I was thrown to the army by my dad so I wouldn't make him look bad on his re-election! I'VE GOT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD TO FEAR!"
"Do you have people ho care for you?" Splinter asked as a ghostly image of the rat appeared.
"Well yeah there's my mom and I guess my dad, the JOEs aren't too bad either, in fact they're kind of funny to be around." Stanley looked down in shame, "But they won't want me back."
"Why not?" Splinter asked.
"Because my dad always said I was a coward and today just proved him right! When those ninjas came I ran and hid under a rock! The army doesn't need cowards!" Stanley cried.
"But now you have a chance to save them." Splinter said calmly, "All you have to do is look down inside your soul and find the hero inside."
"I don't have a hero inside me." Stanley slumped down.
"You do, you just need to find out what kind of hero he is." Splinter said. "Leonardo is a courageous hero, willing to sacrifice it all for those in need, Donatello is an intelligent hero, who solves the problems others cannot, Michelangelo is a hero of spirit and always keeps the others from falling into despair."
"What about Raph?" Stanley asked.
"Ah, Raphael, my most angry son; he is a family hero." Splinter smiled.
"Raph, a family hero?" Stanley laughed. "Yeah right."
"With out Raphael there would be no unity, he is the champion who tells the others when they go too far in their own rights, he keeps the family together and healthy even if it costs him his own health." Splinter smiled even more.
"So what kind of hero am I?" Stanley scoffed, "I like cartoons, I like craziness, I like insanity in my life, but I don't want it to eat me!" Stanley took a deep breath. "WHAT KIND OF HERO AM I?"
Suddenly in his darkened mind a light shown forward onto a young man clad in yellow thirties zoot-suit with a matching troubadour hat and feather and of course a green face. That wasn't all though, Stanley could see the confidence in this young man's face it were as if the face were saying "I am completely unstoppable and you can't stop me, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah-nyah!"
"That'll work." Stanley said as light suddenly clouded his vision and he awoke to the world and a smiling Splinter.
"How do you feel Stanley?" Splinter asked.
"SssssssMOKIN'!" And with an overly cartoonish lunge he plowed himself out the window and bounced just high enough to latch onto the underside of the COBRA helicopter.
"What was that?" Stanley head Mikey shout in surprise.
"Turbulence you green bald-headed freak." Another voice snapped.
"If they think the turtle's are green-bald-headed freaks, wait till they get a load of me." Stanley arched his eye brows in manic anticipation followed by his trademark laugh.
After only forty five minutes of flight into New York City, the Helicopter landed on a large office building and the turtles were escorted off the helicopter. Stanley however transformed himself into his own version of a ninja and crept to the air duct system.
"You will not be disarmed." A voice Stanley recognized as Destro from several files the JOEs had on the COBRA second in command. "However, do keep in mind that we have your friends hostage and will use them as punishment should you try anything funny."
"We understand…" Stanley heard Leonardo say.
Stanley then moved forward into the air shaft system and of course completely went berserk as he spun himself into a tornado and flew up and down the entire system twice before stopping in the middle to get his bearings.
"Ok if I were a room of super powered and highly trained hostages, where would I be?" Stanley thought for a second before he let his gaze wander to his feet where he realized he had no more flooring and there was in fact only air underneath him. "Well this could be interesting…" Then he plummeted with an echoing scream, right before he flew out of an air duct in Dr. Mindbender's lab.
Dr. Mindbender of course screamed like a little girl as Stanley flew out of the duct and skidded to a halt on his knees dressed as Elvis.
"Somebody stop that thing!" Mindbender shrieked.
"Thing?" The green faced hero asked slightly offended, "I'm not a 'thing', I'm the MASK!" He bellowed the last part so lowed that he blew the sheets off of the cages that held the many JOEs, Misfits and X-Men. "Ah, so there you guys are."
"Wha?" Slightly groggy replies escape some of the mutants' lips.
"Hello, COBRA and some freaky ninja's kidnapped you guys and now our turtle friends are trying to save you by probably getting shredded to death by the head ninja!" The Mask shouted, this time he woke almost everyone up.
"Man, Stanley, your breath could wake the dead." Arcade coughed, and then he realized he was in a cage. "Ah, I'm in a cage."
"Not for long." The Mask said right as he heard several guns cock. "Uh, hold that thought one sec ok Arcade." The Mask then leapt at a wall and like a rubber ball rebounded back at the COBRA BATs that had stormed the lab, then he began to whirl in a tornadic fashion and spun the robots into walls, lab equipment and even Dr. Mindbender himself. Then he turned his spinning fury onto the cages that held his friends and as he tore through them he plucked each person out and set them gently on the ground.
"Whoa, Stanley, I like the way you use your powers." Toad smiled as he jumped on to a BAT that had survived.
"Now who said I was this Stanley guy?" The Mask asked with a crazy glint in his eyes.
"Oh, riiiight." Lance nodded to his teammate as he stood up, "So how's it going Mask?"
"Totally tubular." The Mask zipped over to Lance and dressed himself as a surfer. "Ever thought of getting a hair cut?"
"No and if you try it I'll sick my imaginary coyote on you." Lance threatened.
"All right Misfits…" Wave-dancer started as she got to her feet, "Let's teach these COBRA jug-heads no ninjas from another universe can beat us!"
"The same goes or the X-Men." Cyclops said as he got up, "But we need our battle attire."
"No problem!" Mask smiled as he produced a small changing area from his pockets. "I pack heavy for short trips to enemy bases, you never know how many back ups you might need."
"You know, I'm suddenly glad he's on your team." Jean blinked as the Mask spun into different female fashions along with Pietro.
"Well at least he fits in." Wave-dancer chuckled.
As soon as everyone was dressed and ready the three groups decided to split up and take the different floors. The Joes would storm the COBRA base at the top, while the X-Men would secure a safe exit route and the Misfits would locate the turtles.
